One Power Turns Dreams into Reality

Today, January 18, 2010, we celebrate a national holiday in honor of a great man who had a dream, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.. We celebrate a man who let no obstacle prevent him from pursuing his dream. We celebrate a man who had what all men of accomplishment have to have, and if you'll read to the end I'll tell you where you can find that incredible power too.

Dr. King's dream was that one day all men and women in this country would be treated as equal citizens.His dream was that his four little children would one day be judged by the content of their character rather than by the color of their skin. Dr. King fought every day for that dream - until the very day his life was taken from him by an assassin's bullet.

Dr. King had a powerful dream that gave incredible purpose to his life. Luckily, his dream did not die with him. His dream was picked up by his wife and his children and millions of others who shared his passion. Although Dr. King would never come to witness his dream become reality, by the very pursuit of his dream he helped to advance an important cause for millions of men and women across this nation. He shared a dream with millions of oppressed people. Saddly, that dream still needs to be carried forward. But it is being carried forward.

And so when I woke today, I lay there in my bed for a few moments thinking thoughts for the day. I do this almost every day. Today the first thoughts in my head were for Dr. King and his famous "I have a dream" speech. (which is so inspiring I listen to it every year). As a father, it is always an emotional experience when he speaks of the dream he has for his children.

But today I began to wonder about dreams. We all have dreams. But are we all pursuing our dreams?

My sense is that a great majority of folks are not.

Many spend their time in pursuit of someone else's dream. Many have a dream of their own, but lack the discipline to advance it. Many have a dream but are stuck or overwhelmed by obstacles, sometimes real, but mostly imagined and they fail to move forward. Many folks are blessed with a life far longer than Dr. King's, but fail to accomplish much of anything at all.

And it really come's down to just one thing.

Dr. King had it. All great men and women of accomplishment had it. But it is not some special endowment given to some, but not to others. That something is available to every man, woman, or child who will use their mind and free will to choose it.

On page 37 of "Building Blocks of Prosperity" I show you exactly what that something is, how you can get it, and you instantly understand it's importance. I guarantee you've had it before, but didn't understand it's importance so you just let it drift in and out of your life as you rode the roller coaster of success and failure.

Today, think of your dreams. Think of the dreams you have for your families.Think of how pursuing your dreams will create a better tomorrow for you and those you love. And if you haven't had much success so far in reaching your dreams, grab a copy of my book online at http://helpbobhelpkids.com. It's affordable for everyone.

I guarantee you can make progress when you discover the simple secret and put it to use. And your progress, no matter how seemingly small, will create a ripple effect on the world that will benefit more folks than you could ever imagine.

Just as the dream of Dr. King has lived on to see his four little children, and millions of other parent's children, grow up to live in a world so much more like the dream he had envisioned. Dreams do come true - but not just by dreaming. You have to get to work on them first.

Get to work on your dreams today...free yourself from the self-imposed chains of hopelessness and the shackles of despair created in your mind.

Begin today to let your own personal freedom ring!
